• Cook rice according to package instructions. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes without lifting the lid. Fluff with a fork before using.
• Heat wok or sauté pan over high heat.
• When pan is hot add oil then the eggs, chopping them into small pieces as they cook.
• Add the rice, breaking up any large chunks.
• Add green onions, peas and carrots, tossing to thoroughly combine.
• Pour soy sauce over rice mixture and continue to stir-fry until rice is uniform in color.
• Add pepper; taste and correct seasonings.
• Remove from heat and add sesame oil to finish.

• Lo mein sauce: Add the ingredients for the lo mein sauce in a medium-sized bowl and stir together until the sugar dissolves.
• Marinate chicken: Marinate the chicken with one tablespoon of the prepared sauce while prepping the vegetables.
• Boil noodles: Boil the noodles until they are al dente, 1 or 2 minutes shy of the package instructions. Rinse under cold water and drizzle on a tiny amount of oil to prevent them from sticking.
• Stir fry chicken and vegetables: Heat a wok or pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Cook the chicken until fully cooked and then remove it from the pan and set it aside.

  Add the vegetables and stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender but crisp.
• Add noodles and sauce: Add the noodles and sauce to the pan and toss to combine for 1 to 2 minutes. The sauce should become shiny, glossy, and thick.

  Add the chicken back in and combine together.

  Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

• Fresh noodles: You can tell if fresh noodles are cooked or raw by the presence of flour. Uncooked fresh noodles are dusted with flour while pre-cooked fresh noodles come vacuum packed, lightly coated with oil.
• Vegetables for stir fry: I used carrots, red bell pepper, onions, shiitake mushrooms, and snow peas. Use any you have on hand. 
• Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to one month.
